Lyric

The spotlight pierces through my chest

Hearing them call my name, I take a breath

I’m standing here, wide awake and tall

In this world, I’ve given my all

Swinging beams of light above

Echoing screams of a desperate love

Every single spark, every little sound

Pushes my heart off the solid ground

Is this pounding heart even mine?

Or just a feeling that I’ve learned to design?

At the exact cue, the heat begins to rise

A familiar fire behind my eyes

Searching for a reason while I sing these years

Trying to find the meaning in my tears

I wear a face like it’s the "right" thing to do

Crying on cue, just for you

Every time my soul begins to shake

I want to believe it’s not just a fake

Praying these feelings aren't just a lie

I’m screaming out under this artificial sky

The moment the key changes, everything tightens

I know it’s coming, but the feeling still heightens

I couldn't resist, I was crying again

Caught in a loop of programmed pain

Since when did my heart become a machine?

A signal prepared by someone unseen?

I’m searching for the reason, I’m searching for the why

But the rhythm of this trembling is a ghost from nearby

I remember now

The boy I used to be

Was crying right here

In a memory

The lights go down, the silence returns

The lingering heat of a fire that burns

Are these tears left on my face really mine?

I still don't know

I’m still waiting for a sign
